Ghandruk, Nepal: The best destination for MINI TREKKERS

Ghandruk Mini Trek


Trekking around Nepal himalaya is really amazing and full of breathtaking experience. Nepal himalaya is a part of Himalaya range. Nepal himalaya housed 8 out of 14 mountains with height greater than 8000 m. I cannot imaging to reach near base camp but I wanted to see those mountain as close as possible. So I chose Ghandruk, which is easily accessible. Ghandruk, a famous tourist spot in Nepal, lies in mid western part of Nepal. Nayapul to Ghandruk route is one of the comfortable trekking routes in Nepal. It is also lies in the trekking route to Annapurna base camp (ABC) or PunHill. Pokhara, a beautiful city, is a gateway to Ghandruk. We could see Annapurna South (7,219 m) and Fishtail mountain (6,993 m) very closely. Morning light strike turned both mountain into golden colour, It was splendid view. This is one of the best moments of my life.
